Walk with me

Hi friends,

Yesterday something magical happened, me and my wife felt the first movements of our baby. It was magical and I'm feeling very happy for it. It all started as a dream and to be honest at some point it was getting into a nightmare. Its been 4 years and a half since we chose to be together and its been more than 7 years since we met. Its been quite a journey.

We have face couple bad situations but most of the experience has been great and I'm sure I will live it once more if I'm able to chose it.

The pregnancy process was one of those things that caught us with our guard down. We decided to get a baby first 2 years and a half. We really wanted to have a baby and in our minds we were always open to get babies. I guess when we decided to have a baby we were not ready or prepared for it(I'm not sure of the gender yet).

We stopped planning for it and we hoped that maybe couple months should have passed until we were able to tell the good news. Sadly that was not the case, we waited more than 2 years and now in doubt and wondering what was happening we also decided to ask for help.

At the beginning it was just seeing what the problem might be as we were supposed to be able to get a baby. We started to regret not deciding to get a baby before and some problems arise. You can think of a few of them, like my wife told me once that I was free to leave her if she was not able to get a baby. On the other hand my I was also worried if it was my fault and I was kind of thinking the same. We had some discussions and then we managed to get over them. The process was quite stressing and also heart breaking. Orr families supported us but I'm sure social media and friends did not help, we felt like other couples got pregnant by just sharing the drink (sounds silly but that's how we felt).

The tests, exams and everything began. It was just a matter of time to determine the cause of not getting pregnant. Basically it was a couple of issues that were affecting us and we decided to work for the baby. We started to do more exercise, switch to what I called 'pro-baby` nutrition plan. We also started to take every tip or advise, there was a natural medicine from a root called maca we took this pills to increase and improve the quality of both sperm and ovules.

The results, shocking news, we were not able be pregnant for the following reasons:

• No ovule cycle
• High insulin
• Hormones problem
• Polycystic ovary syndrome
  The treatment, basically keep doing what we were doing plus a insulin drug to stabilize it first. After we managed to stabilize the high insuline problem which most likely be cause by the polycystic ovary syndrome, next step was to determine if the ovule cycle was being performed properly. The doctor determined that the were few ovules growing but none maturing enough to be freed and fertilized. Next step involved to help the ovule growth with some hormones that were applied through skin vaccine near the belly.

We were worried about the possibility of getting 1 or more babies and we really struggle to keep on going. It was a decision that we really discussed as a couple and we decided to give it a try. To our lucky the first attempt just managed to make one ovule to grow and mature. Given that we had a chance the next step was to apply another vaccine to help the egg to break and free the ovule to be fertilized. Not stopping there, we were advised to time properly the trajectory of the ovule to be fertilized at a certain day and even time.

We kept on the process and we just waited, one week after that, I had the feeling that I was going to be a dad. The real test was done 3 weeks after that and we were lucky that test was positive. Do you think the process stops here? We couldn't tell our friend this good news, even though we were pregnant it was still a high risky pregnancy and we wanted to wait for the baby to grow and be stable and hopefully everything was going to be alright. Today, 3 months and currently in week 16th we are more than happy to see how belly is slightly growing, significant movement was seen in the appointments and last night we could felt the baby with our hands. What's next? By the first week of October we will know the gender.

Its an on going process and I'm sure it is already changing our lives, there are many doubts, concerns, emotions and things that we are sharing that is building up our couple relationship and hopefully it is making us closer and stronger. Family is more than happy and most of our closer friends now know the good news and seems like everyone is really happy.
Thanks for reading I hope you like this posts and keep walking with us just as my wife, family and friends keeps walking with me.
